Directions

  2. Combine balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and cayenne pepper in a sealable plastic bag. Add mushroom caps and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  3. Fill a Chimney Starter with charcoal. Light the coals at the base of the starter and allow to burn until the coals have partially greyed over, 10-15 minutes.  
  4. Add coals to the base of the Kickoff Grill, spreading the coals evenly with charcoal tongs. 
  5. Place the domed grill grate over the top of the base and adjust the draft to medium.  Heat for 5 minutes.
  6. While the coals are heating, combine aioli ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  7.  Remove the mushroom caps from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, season with salt and pepper.
  8.  Oil the grill grate and grill the mushroom caps for 4 minutes per side. Add mozzarella for the last 1-2 minutes.   
  9.  Remove the mushrooms from the grill. Brush the buns with remaining olive oil and grill for 1 minute.
